At Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Mountain House, we believe every child deserves a safe, supportive space to learn, grow, and thrive. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial artβitβs a tool that helps children with unique challenges, such as autism, ADHD, and other developmental or behavioral conditions, build confidence and important life skills.
Improved Focus & Attention
The structured environment of our classes helps children with ADHD and similar challenges channel their energy, follow instructions, and stay engaged step by step.
Boosted Confidence & Self-Esteem
Through achievable goals like learning new techniques or earning stripes and belts, kids develop a sense of accomplishment and pride that carries into their daily lives.
Better Social Skills & Teamwork
Jiu-Jitsu encourages positive interactions, cooperation, and respect. Children learn to train with partners, take turns, and build friendships in a safe and supportive community.
Healthy Outlet for Energy & Emotions
For children with high energy or difficulty managing emotions, BJJ provides a positive outlet. Movement, discipline, and routine help them regulate both mind and body.
Safety, Structure & Routine
Many kids on the autism spectrum thrive with predictable routines. Our classes are consistent, structured, and led by patient instructors who understand the importance of clear communication.
Our instructors are dedicated to creating an environment where every child feels welcome and supported. We adapt our teaching to meet kids where they are, focusing on progress rather than perfection. The result? Happier, healthier, and more confident children on and off the mats.
π Free Introductory Class: We invite families to schedule a free class so your child can experience the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu firsthand.
